∫Technique for Party mode

•Use the flash. (You can set to [ ] or [ ].)

•We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer for taking pictures.

Note

• The initial setting for [AF MODE] is [š].

3[CANDLE LIGHT]

This mode allows you to take pictures with a candle-lit atmosphere.

∫Technique for Candle light mode

•This is more effective when taking pictures without using the flash.

•We recommend using a tripod and the self-timer for taking pictures.

Note

•The focus range is 5 cm (0.17 feet) (Wide)/50 cm (1.64 feet) (Tele) to ¶.

•The shutter may remain closed (max. about 1 sec.) after taking the picture because of signal processing. This is not a malfunction.
